Obama Goes MAGA, Slams Wokeness and Call-Out Culture
PJ Media ^ | 10/30/2019 | Jim Treacher

Posted on 10/30/2019 9:11:48 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

If you've been paying attention for the past 12 years or so, you may have noticed that Barack Obama tends to contradict himself. He'll say one thing at one point, and then at another point he'll say the complete opposite. And both times he really means it! I don't know how much of it is intentional and how much is just his own lack of self-awareness, but I call it Past Obama vs. Present Obama.

Here's Present Obama just yesterday, good-naturedly but firmly scolding Past Obama about wokeness and callout culture:

"This idea of purity, and you're never compromised, and you're always politically 'woke' and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly. The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids and share certain things with you. And I think one danger I see among young people, particularly on college campuses... and this is accelerated by social media, there is this sense sometimes of, 'The way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people, and that's enough.' Like, if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right, or used the wrong verb... then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself. 'Cause man, you see how woke I was? I called you out... That's not activism. That's not bringing about change. If all you're doing is casting stones, you're probably not going to get that far."

Mr. Get In Their Face is having second thoughts about the very wokeness and callout culture he cultivated! Now that it’s not immediately useful to him as a tool for ruling us!

I’d like to see if he could pass the “Mark” (self-awareness) test - put a dot on his forehead and see if he recognizes it in a mirror ...

It means, “SJW’s should stop attacking left-wing Democrats and concentrate their fury on Republicans.”

This is what he does publicly. When he returns to the DC anti-Trump bunker, is his message like that of yasser arafat’s to the arab world in Arabic? Arafat was notorious for his anodyne public message regarding relations with Israel and Jews, then returning to the Middle East and spouting the opposite in his native language before mobs of Arabs.

Nothing sensible this snake utters in public should be taken seriously. He is who he is and will never rise above it.
